Whistleblower Alleges 'Medical Neglect,' Questionable Hysterectomies Of ICE Detainees : NPR

SpikeTalon comments on Sep 20, 2020:

Based on recent reports from multiple neutral sources, that story turned out to be mostly false, most likely a hit piece against ICE from someone who has a grudge against the organization. https://www.channel4.com/news/factcheck/factcheck-were-mass-hysterectomies-performed-on-detainees-at-a-us-immigration-centre From the above linked-to article... At time of writing, we have not seen evidence that hysterectomies were happening at the facility on a “mass scale”. So for now, we should be careful about using the language of “mass hysterectomies”. As for the ethnic cleansing part should Trump get re-elected, unless someone could show me hard evidence that Trump directly had a hand in such (keep in mind those reports were pretty much false), I will equate such a statement to fearmongering. It also stands to reason that unjustly using the term mass hysterectomies would be disrespectful to those in the past who did suffer directly from forced eugenics, namely young black women who were targeted for sterilizations by one Margaret Sanger, the founder of the modern day organization known as Planned Parenthood.

SpikeTalon comments on Sep 10, 2020:

Communism definition- A political theory derived from Karl Marx, advocating class war and leading to a society in which all property is publicly owned and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs. Anarchism definition- Belief in the abolition of all government and the organization of society on a voluntary, cooperative basis without recourse to force or compulsion. I disagree with how the word anarchist is being used nowadays, and contend that a good portion of those on the political right have at least some in common with anarchists. Those we see rioting in the streets are not anarchists, they are criminals who largely support communism and class warfare. Communism and anarchism have two very different goals and can never truly see eye to eye on political matters. Communism does not believe in anything voluntary per se, as in accordance to such beliefs communism goes the forced route, forcing everyone to go along to get along so to speak, in an effort to create a perceived equality among everyone. Anarchists on the other hand believe in voluntaryism, minimal government (more like none at all) involvement in our personal lives, and in the process individual liberty. While the conservatives and libertarians would not exactly be in favor of absolutely no form of government at all, they still are for as minimal government as possibly allowed in which to operate society, so in that respect they think similar to what anarchists advocate for. In other words... one could only truly be either communist or anarchist, not both as the former is for forced cooperation more or less and the latter is for voluntary cooperation. Yet another reason why I don't trust media sources these days, mixing such terms to fit their narratives. BLM and ANTIFA are militant leftwing groups who support Marxist and progressive ideology, which runs afoul of smaller or no government concepts. Interesting stuff though, and certainly interesting albeit trying times we live in.

SpikeTalon comments on Sep 9, 2020:

At one point or the other I've been banned from at least 17 groups (and probably more), most of which prior to me getting banned from I had never even visited, but that doesn't bother me none. You can still post on music etc by doing a general public post, like I've been doing recently. If getting banned from groups on here bothers you that much, I'd suggest checking out SLUG, similar groups on there and group hosts aren't as quick to drop the ban hammer as on this site. Regardless of what you decide upon, bottom line is try not to let the banning from groups get to you, life is far too short to dwell on such things. Cheers Mr Fly.

Do you think it’s possible to still be able to empathize with someone even though you have NOT ...

SpikeTalon comments on Sep 9, 2020:

I'm going on a limb here and say no. There are certain experiences in life that one cannot truly relate to unless one has had direct experience with such, in particular physical and mental ailments. Many years back I knew a guy who suffered from crippling depression, and while I could lend him a sympathetic ear so he could vent a little, I could not fully relate to his experiences as I had never dealt with depression of that sort. I can somewhat imagine how horrible it must be for someone like that day to day to be dealing with constant thoughts of suicide. On the flip side, I do not expect anyone else to be able to fully relate to what I went through about this time last year when I was stricken with Type 1 Diabetes and came close to dying, unless that is they too have dealt with T1D as I did and know personally what it's like. We can always attempt to put ourselves in the shoes of another to try to understand what they are going through, but it's still not quite the same as firsthand experience. So I say no, we cannot fully empathize to that extent, but there's a chance I could be wrong about that though.
